I finished my visit to Las Vegas with a trip to the Hoover Dam and a last hobble to the middle of the Strip. I did the math and for each foot of forward progress that I made on the strip, I believe I had to walk about 1/2 mile. For example, my hotel room was on the east side of the Luxor facing the sun. I attempted to get a sunrise photo from outside my hotel, but even through it was pitch dark (and plenty early) when I left my room, by the time I made it down the elevator, across the casino and out of the Luxor it was already broad daylight.
